For several decades historical science in Western Europe has focused on the monarch´s ceremony and ritual, as their knowledge allows us to re-assess some moments connected with the nature of royal, or possibly imperial power. The most important ceremonies connected with the person of a ruler and his immediate environment are coronation ceremonies, which started to be researched, also in the Czech environment, in a novel way as a means of political communication. Thus, there is the ruler and his 'media strategy' on the one hand and on the other hand the public, which attempts to accept the image of their ruler. Less attention has until now been devoted to research dealing with Czech coronations in terms of geographical comparison in both the Central European and the wider European context, as well as the development of ceremonies in the course of time, especially towards the enlightened 18th century. However, in addition to coronations, other ceremonial moments such as 'transitional rituals' (baptisms, weddings, funerals),a division of the working day, festivities at the court or the arrangement of the ruler´s personal space, whose aim was to regulate access to him and participate in his representation have been researched.

This study deals with the music performed and musicians present during Maria Teresia’s prolonged stay in Pressburg in 1741 in conjunction with her coronation as King of Hungary. The role that music and ceremony played during this pivotal junction in the history of the Habsburg monarchy are considered within the context of the War of the Austrian Succession and are contrasted with other coronations which took place in Pressburg, Prague and Frankfurt (predominantly in the 18th century). This article employs a diverse range of the manuscript and printed sources found in the Viennese Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv that provide an insight into matters of imperial court policy, ceremony and finance. Detailed descriptions of coronation ceremonies, with a particular focus on the number and placement of musicians, are provided and practicalities such as travel and accommodation are touched upon. The royal party’s activities – in particular church services and celebrations involving music – in the Viennese “suburb” are also outlined in detail in the form of a calendar of events. In addition, numerous transcriptions of documents pertaining to music and ceremony are provided.
